Question

help please! (: The sum of three consecutive integers is 267. What is the largest integer? Numerical Answers Expected!

Answer 1

If

x = 1st integer
x + 1 = 2nd integer
x + 2 = 3rd integer

Then:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 267
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 267
x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 267
3x + 3 = 267

Solve for each integer.

Answer 2

is it x=90?

Answer 3

Not exactly

Answer 4

i don't get it :/

Answer 5

According to Hero...but 90 'are' not 3 consecutive integers.

Answer 6

@sylinan, why don't you show your steps for how you got 90

Answer 7

X+X-1+X-2 =267
3X -3 = 267
3X = 270
X = 270/3
X = 90

Answer 8

Okay, I see

Answer 9

But, you should do it the way I have shown next time.

Answer 10

So what are the other two integers?

Answer 11

@Tommy, you're way off bro.

Answer 12

im so lost);

Answer 13

5*6*7=210
6*7*8=336
QED no integers solve this question.

Answer 14

@sylinan, what are the other two integers?

Answer 15

90 x 91 x 92.......

Answer 16

@Tommy, those are not the integers

Answer 17

im not sure how to solve it

Answer 18

@sylinan, you already found x = 90

Answer 19

Oh dear I'm getting confused with the sum & the product.... sorry guys.

Answer 20

but i thought it was wrong

Answer 21

I just said you did it differently @sylinan. Afterwards, I asked you to continue finding the other two integers.

Answer 22

oh.. my bad

Answer 23

I'm wrong.. you know 'x' now find the other 2 integers the other two 'x's.

Answer 24

Nobody is going to give you the answer. Especially not @T0mmy

Answer 25

Now even I know the answer Hero... merely a xmas mistake...cheers. ;D

Answer 26

haha i know okay
x + x + 1 + x +2 = 267 3x + 3 = 267 3x = 267 - 3 3x = 264 ?

Answer 27

You can do it either way @sylinan

Answer 28

Both formulas work. All you need to do is figure out all three integers.

Answer 29

You found out that 90 is one of them. What are the other two?

Answer 30

I did lots og Guinness theen 7s angd got to the answert
